This was amongst the most out of control recording sessions we have ever been a part of. The Four Skins seem to have no bounds at all, keeping us on our toes for three days straight!

Upcoming Album - Ayurvedic Flute - Dr. C. Radhakrishnan - March 16, 2008

Dr. C. Radhakrishnan is an accomplished Ayurvedic doctor and flautist based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Dr. Radhakrishnan has been using flute in his healing practice for years. He has found that the sounds help patients both during and after treatments. He prescribes the flute meditation in tandem with other Ayurvedic medicines.

Music is a form of science and a proven medium for enjoyment and relaxation. It is a magical medium and a very powerful tool with ability to delight all senses and inspire every fiber in our being.

Music therapy works only if there is effective and efficient listening. The micro tones, the notes, the vibrations should get into every nerve of our body. They must imbibe into us. Music is designed to have a positive and reaffirming effect on emotions and mental clarity, clearing out blockages
and helping to removing negative energies.

Please check back for the release of this beautiful album.

Spin the Globe - KAOS Radio Interview - June 27, 2003

Spin the Globe Playlist for 27 June 2003

Music of East Africa + interview with Rosa Tyabji of Limitless Sky Records

TO SEE THE PLAYLIST, GO TO:

http://www.earball.net/spintheglobe/playlists2003/playlist_6_27_03.htm

Show Notes: One of my revelations this week was the voice of Vusi Mahlesela from South Africa. Sitting down to do a review of his new CD The Voice, I didn't want to think about dissecting the music with words; it's just beautiful. I opened and closed with his voice this week. Doing research for this week's theme, I found a paucity of East African CDs in my library as well as at KAOS. I'll be working to remedy that, though I was able to put together more than an hour of great music, including some produced by Rosa Tyabji of Limitless Sky Records, who shared some of her musical and cultural knowledge with us this week. Rosa told me off-mic that she's hoping to get some of the Limitless Sky artists to the US on tour in the future. I'll be looking to get them into the KAOS studio for some music. Stay tuned.

KKUP: Echoes of Africa: Radio Interview - 2003

CONVERSATION WITH MICHEL & ROSA TYABJI

For the past five years the best recording studio in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, has been Makuti Studio. The acoustics sound natural, the equipment is up to the task, and musicians work there with confidence that their art is respected and their rights are protected. Much good music has been made there, including many recordings for the Tanzanian National Arts Council's archive of traditional music. Michel and Rosa Tyabji producers and founders of Limitless Sky Records are instrumental in the revival of Tanzania traditional and popular dance music. The music of Tanzania has been absent in the international music market for two decades Limitless Sky Records was established to release and promote the music of this east African country.

At Echoes Of Africa we were honored to have these two producers as guests on the show.
